I am a designer and researcher investigating the intersections of design, technology, and their influence on the human condition. I am a firm believer in exploring these arenas with a responsibility to help positively shape the present and future world. These beliefs were originally shaped while I pursued my undergraduate interest in digital storytelling, then solidified during my graduate studies. While obtaining a graduate degree in Design and Technology program at Parsons, The New School for Design, I was drawn to the significance of human-centered design as a means to empower people. My passions lie in the social justice issues related to design and technology, particularly for those in underserved communities.
